Abstract
Topological object relationships in combination with object classification hierarchies appear to be fundamental in the definition of the aggregation rules for spatial objects. Such rules are essential building blocks for the construction of generalization procedures in spatial databases. A model for spatial database generalization can be formulated based on the syntax of the Formal Data Structure (FDS) as proposed in (Molenaar 1989). The syntax of the FDS will be formalized first, then database generalization procedures will be formulated with this syntax.
